So when I first start up the car, I get a slight ticking noise, almost like a baseball card in bike spokes. Once the car warms up a bit the noise goes away. As throttle increases the sound gets louder.

My Car : 03 GT Vortech Supercharged.

I just changed the drive belt a week ago as routine maintenance. I imagine the problem is a pulley or the belt itself. Before I take it all apart again I figured I'd see if anyone has experienced this.

Thanks,

check your exhaust connection where the midpipe meets the headers. ive got the same problem and i know thats what mine is.

Ok I'll check that, it appears to be coming from the passenger side so that will make it easier to check. I'm guessing I should see some amount of exhaust smoke leaking out?
